7-16-21 The Schloss Thun (Thun Castle) … pretty cool!

 

Get the day started with some Swiss chocolate and a cup of tea.

Start down the hill from Strattlighugel 46 to lift some weights at the gym – “Self-Fitness.”  Well actually I am not sure I would consider it lifting weights anymore – more like exercising with weights now!

I get about a quarter of the way down and I realize that I don’t have my wallet.  Which means I don’t have my gym card … nor do I have any money to go to the grocery to get lunch … hmmm … beer as well.  Not so good

Oh, by the way did I mention it is raining.

After a little internal debate, I hang a U-Turn, walk back up the steeper part of my trip and return to Strattlighugel 46.  Unbolt the doors … find my wallet and reverse action again.

Yup, still raining!

Well, it was quiet at the gym, so was able to get through a good workout.  Whip across the street, pick up my beer (I mean groceries … well, they are technically groceries – right?)  Back up the damn hill through the rain.

OK enough of my complaining.

About a week ago I went back down into Thun to visit the Thun Castle (Schloss Thun) after some encouragement from my friend Nic.  He told me it is awesome to wander around up there and then get into the museum.

Well, although the museum was still closed due Covid restrictions … I guess there are no germs in restaurants – but they hang out in museums???  Hmmm …. Go figure.

But, the walk around the Schloss was really pretty cool.  Here are some shots of the place.  Oh yeah, the cannon.  Well come on it is a castle!
